with the following correct methods, it is possible to bring

hazards to the user or cause damage to the calibrator in

use. The warning also points out how to avoid the

accidents.

！Caution

Caution

A

caution shows that if the operation does not comply

with the following correct methods, it is possible to cause

damage to the calibrator in use .the caution also points

out how to avoid maloperation.

Note

A

note serves as a sign to remind the user that he must

understand the correct operation of the calibrator and its

characteristics.

T

o prevent the user and the calibrator from any electric shock and other

hazards, it is necessary to observe the following regulation;

warning



I t is not allowed to operate the calibrator at the working field

where there exists flammable gas or explosive gas or vapor .It

is very dangerous to operate the calibrator in such a

surrounding.



use

: The calibrator can ’ t perform both input and output

simultaneously. No direct connection can be made

between both input and output.



M

aintenance

: Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and

detergent; do not use any corrosive solvents.

2

Note



T

o keep the calibrator in a designed accuracy, it needs warming

up 5 minutes before it is put into operation.



I f any user requires a higher accuracy of the calibrator, he

should make contact with our manufacturer.



I f the automatic reference-junction temperature compensation

of the calibrator deviates from its designed accuracy, the user

is requested to make contact with our manufacturer.

Warning



The power supply connected to the calibrator must be shut

down and then the test leads need removing prior to replacing

the battery.

in

the

display,

it

denotes

that

the

battery

is

nearly

used

up

and

needs

replacing

according

to

the

following

steps:

1) Turn off the power switch of the calibrator and then remove

the test leads.

2) Remove the holster from the calibrator. Open the battery cover

at the back of the calibrator by releasing the lock in the indicated

direction.

3) Replace the used-up battery with a new one. Put the battery

cover back and lock it in the indicated direction.

4) Put the holster back onto the calibrator.

Power-On/Off

of

Calibrator

4.1

Power-key

operation

Press the power key to turn on the power supply of the calibrator. Then

press it again to hold it in one second and the power will be off. When

the power is turned on, the calibrator starts to make self-diagnosis

internally and the full screen is in displ

ay.

After this, appropriate

operation should be carried out.

N

ote



P

ower-on

:

To

ensure the correct operation of the calibrator with

power on, it is good practice to turn off the power

supply pausing 5 seconds, and then restart the

calibrator.

4.2

Automatic

power-off

B y the shipping time, the calibrator setting is made in the factory like this

:In case there is no operation of the calibrator within 10 minutes after

power-on, it will cut off the power automatically. However, users can

decide whether they want to use the function of the automatic power-off

5

or

not. The setting can be done by themselves. (See section 7 for

reference)

A

4-wire system is designed for the

resistance output during the calibration.

If the user adopts a two-wire system,

he should take into consideration the

error (ca.0.1 Ω) arising from the lead

resistance of the test leads. If the

capacitance between

the resistance

output terminal of the calibrator and the

tested instrument is more than 0.1 μ f,

the calibrator will produce improper

resistance.

1) Insert one end of the test lead into the output jack of the calibrator

and connect the other end with the input of the user ’ s instrument

as shown in the following diagram: (the dedicated test leads

supplied with the calibrator can be made into a 3-wire

or

4-wire

system for output according to user ’ s requirement.)

Measurement

Warning



D uring the operation, never apply more than 30V between any two

terminals,

or

between any terminal and earth ground .Any voltage

more than 30V will not only cause damage to the calibrator, but also

lead to possible personal injury.

！Caution

Caution



D uring the operation, do not apply a voltage exceeding the

measuring range to the input terminal, which will cause possible

damage to the calibrator.



D uring the operation, special care should be taken not to apply a

heavy current to the input terminal. Any improper electric

connection will cause damage to the calibrator and the instrument
